STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. --- Police are hoping an artist's sketch will help them find three suspects in a Meiers Avenue home invasion robbery earlier this month that left one man shot in the back.

The robbery is believed to be drug-related, said a law enforcement source, and the victim, identified as Daniel Curry, 32, was arrested on marijuana possession charges hours later.

Earlier today, police released a sketch of one of the three suspects, who is identified as the shooter in a press release from the NYPD Deputy Commissioner for Public Information's office.

According to the release, the three suspects pushed their way into the home, at 14 Wellbrook Ave., at about 7:30 p.m. March 2, and told four men inside to get on the floor.

Two of the suspects wore ski masks, but the third, who was wielding a black handgun, did not, police said.

Curry was shot in the back as he tried to flee, and the trio ran off, empty handed, according to police.

He was taken to the surgical intensive care unit of Richmond University Medical Center in critical but stable condition.

Court records show Curry was arraigned on March 7, before Stapleton Criminal Court Judge Alan Meyer, and was released on his own recognizance.

After the break-in, officers who responded to the scene found marijuana and drug paraphernalia. A search warrant was requested and granted, leading to the arrest of the four men in the home during the invasion.

Curry, Vincent Trapani, 37, of New Dorp; Carroll Arthur, 26, who also resides at the Wellbrook resident, and Carmine Ragucci, 33, of Sunnyside, were charged with criminal possession of marijuana, criminal possession of a controlled substance, and criminal possession of drug paraphernalia.

Police described the alleged shooter as a white man between 35 and 40 years old, about 6 feet tall and weighing 175 pounds, with salt and pepper hair and a goatee.
